AUSTIN – Former Texas baseball coach Augie Garrido was hospitalized last weekend with a serious medical condition, according to a report from Kendall Rogers of DIBaseball.com.

Legendary @BaseballTitans and @TexasBaseball former head coach Augie Garrido, the winningest coach in college baseball history, was hospitalized last night after a very serious medical situation. Here’s to one of my favorites making a speedy recovery.

Garrido, 79, coached Texas from 1997 to 2016 and left the profession with 1,975 wins, most in the history of Division I baseball. Garrido won three College World Series titles with Cal State Fullerton before joining UT and winning two more in 2002 and 2005.

In May 2016, Garrido was named special assistant to then-athletic director Mike Perrin, a position he still maintains.

"Augie has long been among the best coaches in college athletics, an exceptional developer of young men, great leader and tremendous representative of our University," Perrin said at the time. "I have deep appreciation, admiration and gratitude for all that he has accomplished in his 20 years leading our baseball program. From the two National Championships he brought to Texas, to the many thrilling College World Series performances, Big 12 titles and becoming the all-time winningest coach in college baseball history, he has a vast list of success stories, but none greater than the positive impact he has made on the countless numbers of student-athletes he has coached. We are so grateful for all he has given and everything he's done for Longhorn baseball, Texas athletics and our great university."

Garrido was spotted earlier this month at a Cal State Fullerton game and, along with Skip Bertman, threw out the ceremonial first pitch before a Feb. 23 game between Texas and LSU.
